Do you happen to live in Orlando? because there is a Repticon show here tomorrow. I actually breed them. I found a local guy who had a few colonies and I paid $4.00 each. I just breed them for my picky eaters. I try to handle them to keep them tame. They would be considered pet quality. I hate mean rats and those ones get selectively fed off first if they are trouble makersThey should have someone who sells them at the show if you are from here. Don't pay more than $4.00 each and get the pied colored ones (white and gray) they tend to be the nicest from my experience. good luck!
